Informations for architects and planners

The successful integration of shields in rooms and installation on existing systems requires a close cooperation with architects and planners. Important are for example thickness of materials, method of mounting, corrosion properties, expansion of the shielding surface, method of installation of floor shields, ceiling shields, quality requirements for substrates like floors etc. Isoline calculations of the electrical equipment and/or measurements of magnetic fields provide a basis for the consulting and planning of shielding.

Comply with the AGW/IGW according to NISV::

Description

Electrical systems must respect the legal limits according to the regulation on non-ionising radiation, NISV. The immission limit values apply for commonly accessed areas. The precautionary emission limit has to be fulfilled at “places with sensitive use”. “Places with sensitive use” are for example residential buildings, office rooms, kindergartens, children playgrounds and patient waiting rooms. The first step of planning the nature of the measure is usually an isoline calculation. Based on the results, the measures can be determined.

We offer advise throughout the planning phase for new systems as well as renovations of existing systems and develop solution proposals. Based on the project planning, we also take over the execution of the measures. This includes the provision of materials, coordination of the mounting and dates, project management and professional installation.

Planning of surface shielding/room shielding::

Description

Architects/Planners often receive specifications in order to ensure certain magnetic field values in rooms. Such rooms are for example:

  • Hospitals (protection of people and equipment such as EEG/EKG/EMG)
  • Workplaces (protection of people)
  • Research facilities (protection of equipment such as microscopes, E-Beam writers)

Emitting sources of magnetic fields are for example:

  • High-voltage power lines
  • Railway lines
  • Transformer stations, mains distribution boards, electrical cables
  • Research magnets

Usually there are no guidelines on how the fields have to be limited. Systron EMV GmbH has the necessary know-how to implement such projects and provides proposals accordingly. Based on that, invitations to tender are written or direct contracts are assigned to Systron.

Planning guidelines PR-NIS of the city of Zurich

Planning guidelines PR-NIS of the city of Zurich

The city of Zurich wants to treat all building technical basic installations of city-owned buildings, regarding their electromagnetic pollution according to standardized guidelines, to ensure the same conditions for all users.
The “Planning guidelines non-ionising radiation PR-NIS" lanungsrichtlinie Nichtionisierende Strahlung PR-NIS” were created for this reason. Users and operators receive an electromagnetically immission-low indoor climate in rooms, where people stay for a longer period of time, on a regular basis. For people who may be classified as particularly sensitive (e.g. children and people in need of special care), an increased protection against non-ionising radiation is sought. The PR-NIS sets no special requirements regarding the radiation limits of mobile devices (PC, printer, mobile phones).

What are the key issues?

 

  • Keep distribution sites and raised zones as far as possible away from quite zones
  • Course of main lines and trays
  • Concept grounding systems
  • Feed lines from distribution panels are to be arranged as a star if possible
  • Shielded cables for permanent consumers
  • Place power outlets so that only short connection cables are sufficient
  • Place lines so that quiet zones are not affected
